I thank Lord Alderdice. There is much to think about, a lot to feed in and, I hope, a lot of imaginative solutions will be produced by the committee and submitted to the relevant people in due course. I thank the witnesses for travelling quite a distance to come here. We really appreciate being able to end our public hearings on such an uplifting and thoughtful address, and I thank Lord Alderdice for that.

As this is our last public meeting I wish to put on record my gratitude to all members of the committee for their hard work over recent months. I also thank all the witnesses who have appeared and testified. On my behalf and that of the committee, I express my gratitude to the secretariat for everything it has done and is doing for the committee. It often goes unsaid and I might not get a chance to say it again.
